Illuminated signs are likely to be used to entice customers to the new Wing Wah restaurant on Fletchamstead Highway in Coventry.

Planning officers are recommending permission be granted for two totem poles and one neon text sign, which will also be lit up.

But they recommend refusal of a proposal to plant four palm trees. Some people living nearby objected to the plans on the grounds that the signs will be out of keeping with the area and could affect road safety. A decision will be taken on Thursday.
